Some of these sentences look a bit harsh to me especially the 20 year old

Take a look at the footage of those you feel harshly treated. I can't be arsed to find it again it's pretty ****ing damning.

No riots or claims of two tier policing from the rabid right following this horrific killing. Your thoughts?

"A 22-year-old man has been sentenced to life in prison for the "unprovoked and senseless" murder of a Saudi Arabian student.

Mohammed Algasim, 20, was stabbed in the neck outside student accommodation in Cambridge in August 2025.

Prosecutors said construction worker Chas Corrigan, of Holbrook Road, Cambridge, attacked Algasim with a kitchen knife after "an evening of drinking and using drugs".

At Cambridge Crown Court on Thursday, Corrigan was sentenced to life, to serve a minimum term of 22 years and six months in prison after he was found guilty of murder at an earlier trial."

I think the sentences are not unexpected and they will all be let out of licence before they complete their porridge. What has not really been mentioned is that they nearly all have prison convictions and soe are "career criminals." They got what they deserved and had amply chance to reflect upon what they might be doing was criminal. I do not have any sympathy with any of them.

It would be nice to hear Nigel Farage put his hand up and an admit that these people partaking in his "white rage" protests are not the morally upstanding citizens looking to defend the UK's morals and value but thigs and petty criminals. A few would appear to have mental health issues as well. I just feel that the time is overdue to hold Farage's feet to the fire to account for the actions of his supporters. These are not people who are fed up with the UK being exploited but criminals of low intelligence who have trouble understanding that not all British citizens are white. Shame that we can no longer send these criminals to Rwanda. That would teach them a lesson.

Probably more likely that the majority support Lowe rather than Farage, which says it all really.

Why did you put white rage in quotes btw?

Don't want a harsh sentence, don't join a riot I guess.

There is always going to be a deterrent consideration to these sentences.

Yeah exactly that, if they handed out a fine and community service then many won't think twice about joining.

Hand down a prison term though and there'll be plenty thinking they might join the next one but will now decide it's not worth it.

I assume he's put it in quotes because he wants to put the blame for this on Farage so he's (sort of) repeating the BBC's false claim that Farage called for "white cold rage". A claim the BBC have since withdrawn and apologised for.
